Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o has added her voice to the chorus of Oscar critics.

Since the Kenyan actress won the Best Supporting Actress trophy for her role in 12 Years A Slave in 2014, the Academy has failed to nominate any actors of color.

While some like Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett-Smith have called for a boycott of this year’s ceremony, others like David Oyelowo, and now Nyong’o, are pressing Hollywood to do more to improve opportunities for actors and filmmakers of color.

Tuesday, Nyong’o took to Instagram to express her disappointment in this year’s lack of inclusion.

While Nyong’o’s not the only actor to criticize Hollywood, she is working to change things. Back in 2014 she acquired the rights to produce a film adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Americanah, and later this year she’ll star in Disney’s Queen of Katwe.

Sister Lupita Nyong’o is a person who gave a magnificent, accurate speech on beauty. She is a beautiful black woman who has great consciousness. She has worked in Kenya to promote women’s issues and conservation. The Oscars has disrespected black people and our response should be to keep it moving, not support the Oscars, and express ourselves not for the sake of coveting a statue, but for the sake of outlining the gift of acting and advancing the dignity of black people. I want her to even achieve more in her life.

She’s beautiful. I don’t get all the fuss about the Oscars…the lack of diversity is nothing new.

All these Africans come to America to get token acknowledgment from Hollywood rather than forming a bond with other Africans in the diaspora to make their own movie and entertainment powerhouse. Especially when that token acknowledgement comes at the price of playing a slave who gets kicked around and told how beautiful she is not.

Africans in the diaspora have every right to have a movie and entertainment industry that puts themselves on a pedestal and portrays them in all their glory and beauty, which is what the white entertainment industry does for white folks. But seems black folks don’t want to do that.
